Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Wife took both boys to the doctor. Couldn't figger out how to get 'em to separate doctors so made Jr. see the Pediatrician.
They've both got antibiotics and Luke has more Xopenex (sp?) for the nebulizer.
I can't help but think that all this stirring up of the bathroom floor has irritated this for all of us. And now, three of us are sick and we'll be at my Mom's house this weekend.
Maybe I'll take our wedding pictures...
Ok...I'll see if I can figure it out...
Ooops, it's apparently linked to donations. Says mine is valid for one year from my latest donation.
On your pings page, click on "more" in the upper right corner.
Then go to edit account.
I found where it should be, but you're right...looks like it's linked to donations...I don't have the option.
-->hangs head in shame.
I dunno, it scares me to think they're using our knives to cut hair.
I sincerely believe in the right tool for the right job. But I guess the government can't figure out troops need scissors and pocket knives. I don't carry scissors on me, but they're usually not too hard to find if I need them. But I never am without a "pocket knife". It's kinda personal, like a toothbrush.
I sincerely believe that there is a government procurement program that buys high-quality pocket knives for the troops. But these millions of knives are then stored in an Raiders-of-the-Lost-Ark warehouse where they will be inventoried forever.
If I was SecDef, I'd order a switch to black stainless steel dogtags, and have the data laser-engraved on them. At the same time, in the same CNC engraver, there would be an appropriate pocket knive engraved with the troop's name and SSN. It would be given to him at the same time as his dogtags, and he'd have to keep it on him at all times, just like his dogtags. But with his name on it, it would be his.
Now see here young lady! With your personal contributions to this forum, your tireless efforts for the troops and your devotion to raising two fine upstanding citizens, you have absolutely NO reason to feel shame for anything.
ASG is soon enough. ;-)
Ohhh! Thanks Corin! Got a little teary readin' that.
ASG, the world is gonna shake!
>>I dunno, it scares me to think they're using our knives to cut hair.
Heh! I think it's fantastic. Resourceful!
I'm gonna have a Halfacupa Crap.
Mmmm...
Heh...I have something similar for dessert some of the time. Pretty much the same ingredients. Good brownie substitute...
This is very much like eating frosting with oatmeal in it! LOL
It ain't pretty, but it's tasty!
Heh! True. And by the time I finish it, I'm dang near sick, it's so rich.
Gotta go to the store...Matthew needs a protractor.
A protractor. What's next...a slide rule??
Heh...in the science wing here at the college, there's a HUGH slide rule mounted on the wall in the hallway - like six feet long. Kinda kewl.
Dad actually taught us how to use one, for some basic math. I couldn't tell ya now, though. Not exactly a skill I've kept up. But...guess they were hot stuff at one point, eh?
How about this?
Heheh! Did I spell it wrong?
Protracter?
;-)
I shouldn't do this...
I shouldn't do this...
